Old Folks’ Home Bedbugs Again

Old topics are a bit boring, but bedbugs are a current event in the apartment building underfoot.  A little more discussion might be of value to someone.  The decorations around the place are still those meant for July 4th — aka U. S. A. Independence Day — and time-wise “old stuff.”  Summer is at hand in these Northlands, and that’s not new, either.

The new “plague” of recent years (bedbugs) can be found most anywhere including such places as libraries and public transit.  Even alert and able-bodied people have trouble dealing with them for reasons like they’re hidden and tend to operate when people aren’t looking, like while asleep at night.  They’re in unusual places, like equipment.

Everything created has some value, but what the value of bedbugs is hasn’t been noted by this desk, which is manned by someone who once fished one out of an ear.  The last report was they were found in the laundry room, which means they would be in any apartment in the place and hanging on an unknown person who might be anywhere around.

The creatures are especially bad when it comes to children and less able-bodied folks, like the elderly.  Kids aren’t particularly knowledgeable, and old people have problems like they can’t see well or at least at first think bites are some kind of a medical concern.  Professional extermination is generally expensive, more than some can afford.

Some concerns never go away.  😦

 

 

 

Something (But Not Much Yet)

Well, it looks like there is a chance to publish something to keep in contact with readers and curious souls, but there’s nothing certain about it.  First of all this is not being done at home in the usual fashion.  Neither is there a known way at this point to be doing it at home in the usual fashion.  Next week may be nothing.

The last topic when there was one was the news popularity of the British royalty, which is still going strong in some places.  As that was three weeks ago, the line of reasoning has become rather blurred by events closer at hand, including some stuff in regard to the old folks’ home underfoot.  (Yes, it’s a run on sentence.)

In the old folks’ home underfoot one of the things that aggravated the presentation of these little essays (just one, some others of which were worse) was the fact that the elevators quit working.  That made it a bit difficult in regard to people like on the eighth floor.  It’s mentioned here because it’s something to remember.

This is being published with the sincere hope that things can be back to normal by next week (although it’s not likely) maybe even with the last topic expanded rather than any more ordinary ramblings, as well as the sincere hope that everyone had a meaningful Independence Day 2019 and has wonderful line-up for summer.

May the summer be a great time for all.  🙂
